Committees & Interest Networks

We are always looking for committee and interest network members to help the leaders meet their goals. Reach out to the Chair listed on our website if there is a particular committee or interest network that appeals to you.

Reviewers

Each year, SACES puts out a call for reviewers to review conference proposals, awards, and research grants. If you have an interest in  reviewing any of these, look for the calls and/or check our website for more details. The calls for reviewers typically go out once a year led by the leader listed below:

  • Awards (July) - Awards Chair
  • Research Grants (July) - Past-President
  • Conference Proposals (December in regional conference years) - President-Elect-Elect
